The patented Royal Rota-Rack is an automatic accumulator that can be used with any bar-fed CNC lathe to safely collect finished parts, providing hours of highly profitable, unmanned production.
Adding a Royal Rota-Rack to a barfed CNC lathe can increase machine utilization and throughput. Benefits include:
• Run existing machines extra hours: nights, weekends, lunch breaks, etc.
• Faster cycle times: no waiting for an operator to unload parts/empty collection boxes
• Higher efficiency: produce more parts per shift
• Better employee utilization: no need for a person to do a job that can be handled with simple automation
• Increased profitability.
The Royal Rota-Rack has been designed to provide maximum part protection, a feature that is important for all parts, but one that is especially useful for parts with delicate external features like threads, edges and corners.
Each time the Rota-Rack collects a finished part, the turntable smoothly rotates to the next position to ensure that the following part will not forcefully collide with any of the previouslycollected parts.
All contact surfaces of the Royal Rota- Rack and conveyor are covered with a high-lubricity UHMW plastic material to minimize friction and protect surface finishes.
The Rota-Rack’s unique spiral helps keep finished parts in sequential order, aiding quality control by enabling first piece/last piece inspection.
The deluxe control enables the Rota- Rack’s operation to be matched to the machining cycle time. Three inputs are entered by the user: part cycle time, amount of rotation and auto-shutoff quantity. With this control, each time a part drops out of the machine, the Rota- Rack will energize and index. The deluxe control is useful for applications where accurate spacing is required to prevent delicate parts from coming into contact with each other.
There are three conveyor options to handle all clearance needs. The conveyor bolts to the Rota-Rack and plugs directly into the control. The long conveyor includes a support leg.
